Re: [Elecraft] Installing a Sub Receiver
Ted, The new synthesizers give the K3/K3S a vast improvement in transmit phase noise, as well as improving the receive noise floor performance by several dB. Both synthesizers must be the same. I would highly recommend getting another KSYN3A board to use in your main receiver to match the one supplied with your KX3A. If you anticipate using Diversity mode, it is a necessity. If the filters in your KRX3 do not match the ones in your main RF board, then the new synthesizers are a MUST - the new synthesizers can work in diversity mode with unmatched filters, but the old ones cannot. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/16/2019 10:48 AM, Ted Edwards W3TB wrote: I put it off for years getting the Sub-Receiver for my K3.

The sub-receiver comes with the KSYN3A synthesizer board --- so it occurs to me to change that board into the primary receiver and use the older one with the sub-receiver. That may make it easier to change out later. I am really so impressed with the K3 receiver after about 6 years that the new synthesizer always seemed pointless -- but now I have one anyway. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] Installing a Sub Receiver
Thanks everybody. The sub-receiver came with the new board, but with all your good advice I just ordered the KSYN3A board and will come soon. Only one downside: It is a rainy day here in Middle Tennessee it was a perfect day to stay inside and get this done. 73 to all ...

Re: [Elecraft] Installing a Sub Receiver
Both receivers have to use the new synthesizer board. You can't install them in the way you've described, unfortunately. 73, Scott N9AA On 12/16/19 10:48 AM, Ted Edwards W3TB wrote: I put it off for years getting the Sub-Receiver for my K3.

Re: [Elecraft] Installing a Sub Receiver
The two synthesizers must be the same. You will actually need to replace your older synth with another KSYN3A.
